PERIPARTUM ANAESTHETIC MANAGEMENT OF TWIN GESTATIONAL PREGNANCY IN PATIENT WITH TAKAYASU’S ARTERITIS
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 84
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE Takayasu’s aortoarteritis (TA) is a chronic, progressive, idiopathic, occlusive arteritis of the aorta and aortic arch branches. 1 It is commonly seen in women of reproductive age group. Peripartum management of pregnant patients with TA is challenging and must be approached with careful vigilance due to the high rate of hypertensive complication, multiorgan involvement and foetal complications. These influence the timing, mode of delivery and also the type of anaesthesia administered. We present a 22-year-old primgravida with twin gestation with known TA with stents in situ, who delivered at our institution by elective LSCS at 34 weeks by spinal anaesthesia.
